I'd switch the dates of your positions with the company/title. That being said, can I get the .doc/whatever version of this? I'd like to play around with the formatting and see if it would fit my resume.

I didn't really read for content, but I would personally add a projects section if you have one. Showing that you do things outsides of class/work is really good for an internship.

I read some more and realized they're in your experience section. To me, 'experience' implies work. Your version is correct too, and it's fine, but maybe putting those hackathon projects under a 'personal projects' header would emphasize that you do cool things outside of class/work.

Be tactful on your resume, sure, but not humble. The BitTorrent client sounds anything but simple, instead skip to "Fully functional"

CritIt: what was your role? Not sure if "from A to Z" is really accomplishing anything here.

Put office/drive and win/mac/linux at the very end of that list, everything else is so much more relevant

Rename experience/leadership to either leadership experience or volunteer experience or something like that

I only skimmed the leadership section but it looks strong, working in teams and that kind of thing is awesome, shows you might be able to actually work with other people

Disclaimer: I'm relatively extremely new to the industry and therefore take everything I say with a couple grains of salt. However, if I were a recruiter I'd want to know how you impacted the team on CritIt, what your technical role was, and if you have any other personal projects (although building your own BitTorrent client would definitely signal that you do cool stuff for fun, that's a pretty strong part of your resume to me). Also, where is your github, you definitely either have a github or similar. Open source contribution is often looked well upon, and it provides an easy way to see if you can code. Do you have a personal website? If you do, you should put it on here too. I'd put the website on the line under your name (if there's room, and if it comes out blue I'll be very angry with you). Put the github under skills. Something like "Code Samples: github.com/yourAccount"

Early on in college I definitely considered myself on the weaker side when it came to math. Then I got to a few of the more quantitative courses, pushed myself through them, and got better. Math is 100% something you can get better at through effort, and it'll improve your programming dramatically (it isn't required to be a good programmer but it'll help).

Now I really like math, and I'm really happy that I'm better at it. It's a small additional source of confidence. I'd say stick with it.

Also, getting a job in software dev will be much easier with a software engineering degree (personally I'm a CS major, but which is more helpful really depends on the program, and honestly what you like doing).

Competition is a good thing, stops you from getting complacent. But you're right, Emory will feel less competitive in that regard.

Right, so, those internships go to the kids that worked the hardest, our name isn't really out there to recruiters (possibly with the exception of Amazon) but interviews can still happen with any of them. Going to Emory you'll need to distinguish yourself a bit and maybe even network some amount. Go to hackathons (GT and Emory both have one) and build stuff on your own time if you can. Freshman internships aren't super common but if you can get one it'll help you.

Emory is well respected enough as a university, but it's certainly not known as a tech/CS school. Like I mentioned, the department is growing, but it's not renowned yet.

A little late but hopefully I can help out. Don't know anything about financial aid but I can speak to compsci.

CS at Emory is growing but not the strongest. If you're a good CS student I don't know how much trouble you'll have really. CS career services won't bring anything huge to campus so you kind of have to do it on your own.

However good jobs do happen. I know one person interning at Google this year, one at Amazon, one at Palantir. Will you have better chances at Rice? Yeah probably (I actually don't know much about Rice tbh).

Also you have the benefit of being able to only take a few CS-oriented classes a semester while exploring other things (it's easy to double major in Math or even something entirely different). Word of warning, people often get sucked into the bschool while also doing CS, it's my opinion that this doesn't leave enough time to really dedicate to CS and that the bschool doesn't add that much, but this will vary based on your interests.

At the end of the day the jobs are out there, you just need to decide that you will get there and that you won't let anyone stop you (especially not yourself).

Honestly I barely even made use of the Great Merchants. I threw the first one down for the improvement, then just conducted trade missions for the gold/influence. Didn't move past one city, prioritized sending out Cargo Ships, money just flew in.

I didn't even finish the game honestly, I was clearly on track for an uncontested diplo win.

That's just ridiculous, even Mccain seemed to think so. Sure Reznor's content can be considered "inappropriate" in certain circumstances, but that doesn't mean he isn't still one of the greatest living musicians.
